In Their Words: “With my tour supporting Great Lake Swimmers across the USA this fall, I wanted to try covering a song that was stylistically different from my music. Someone from my record label sent me ‘No Roots’ by Alice Merton, and I thought it would be fun to try it from a folk perspective. I’d never heard her music before so I didn’t have a planned approach, but after I listened through the song once I picked up my guitar and banjo and quickly started piecing together my own version.” — Joshua Hyslop
